If anyone hears a strange, distant thumping, and thinks they’re having a Tell-Tale Heart moment, you’re okay. It is the (strangely adorable) steady beating of this heart that Korvus gave me after my birthday dinner, Indiana Jones style, from his jacket. It might be slightly muffled in my backpack if I carry it with me, but if it gets shaken, it’s what you'll hear. It's just that, and nothing spooky going on. I love it, Korvus, thank you again! That's definitely something nobody else would have ever thought to give me.

It’s going to be sitting next to the unicorn plush from my Secret Santa, on my shelf. The drink that came with that went in the fridge instead of diagonal to the unicorn, because nobody wants a flaming hot Red Bull in front of them when there’s an exam emergency.
